RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk says the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP in Armstrong and the North Okanagan Traffic Services responded to the collision on Highway 97 near Back Road at around 6:40 a.m.

“Upon first responders attendance it was confirmed that the adult male driver of a late model sedan was deceased as a result of the collision with an area school bus. At the time of the crash the bus was occupied solely by the driver who was uninjured as a result,” he says.
